Description

Counting Crows – Recovering The Satellites 2LP

Limited Edition Green Vinyl

Sleeve Grade: EX - One small stubbed corner (pictured)

Media Grade: VG+ - Sides 1, 2, & 4 are NM, side 3 has several scattered nicks (as pictured) spanning the end of track 2 and end of track 3, resulting in 15-20 low but audible clicks on playback. Aside from that the vinyl is flawless.

All unsealed vinyl is hand cleaned using a Pro-Ject VC-S2 ALU (as seen in photos). We include rice paper inner sleeves as well as an outer sleeve, proper packaging and quality mailer for safe shipping.

For their second album, Recovering the Satellites, Counting Crows crafted a self-consciously challenging response to their unexpected success. Throughout the record, Adam Duritz contemplates his loss of privacy and sudden change of fortunes, among other angst-ridden subjects. In one sense, it's no different from the subjects that dominated August and Everything After, yet his outlook is lacking the muted joy that made "Mr. Jones" into a hit. Similarly, the music is slightly more somber, yet the approach is harder and more direct, which gives even the ballads a more affecting, visceral feel. Recovering the Satellites occasionally bogs down in its own pretentiousness -- for a roots rock band, the group certainly has a lot of artsy goals -- yet when they scale back their ambitions to simple folk-rock, such as on the single "A Long December," they are at their most articulate.
